Just general help - I am a beginner

Making a multiagent system

Posted 07 April 2007 - 04:17 AM

Hi fellow programmers,

in my class in college we are supposed to make a simulation of agent system (some kind of grid). We should be able to put agents, walls, movable objects etc into it. Agents should be able to move around, bounce from walls, pick up objects etc. This is just the basic functionality, there are other things it should be able to do (like developing our own scripting language for manual programming the agent - I think a little too much for Java beginner class ). Could some of you direct me, what classes from Java API should I use to make the grid (and the inner tiles) and how should I handle time, when the simulation runs? I appreciate your help, cause the application should be complete in a month, and its not my only class
